This chapter deals with a detailed analysis of six-phase synchronous generator, applicable for wind power generation system. This includes the mathematical modeling of grid connected six-phase synchronous generator and its dynamic performance under load variation. Initially, machine was operated at no-load followed by the step increase in output power (i.e., active power increased at time t = 5 and 15 s from no-load to 50% of rated, to rated value). Hence, increase in active component (i.e., q-axis component) of current was noted to be increased with no change in reactive component (i.e., d-axis component) current, associated with both the three-phase stator winding. This has resulted in an overall increase in current of both stator winding sets. On the basis of performance results, it may be inferred that a stable operation is achieved with a step change in output power for a grid connected six-phase synchronous generator.

Furthermore, a detailed small signal stability analysis was presented for grid connected six-phase synchronous generator with its three-phase counterpart. For this purpose, a linearized mathematical model was developed using Park’s variables, where eigenvalue criteria were used to access the stability under small disturbance. A larger effect was found with the change in stator resistance on both six-phase and three-phase generator. Six-phase generator was found to be more stable due to larger magnitude of negative component of both stator and rotor eigenvalues. Variation of stator leakage reactance also affects the machine stability. It was found that from rotor side, six-phase generator operation is tending toward stability, while three-phase generator is approaching toward instability. Hence, machine operation will remain more stable under stator leakage reactance variation in comparison with three-phase generator. On the field side, major effect was noted in smallest real eigenvalue III, where under variation in resistance rfr and leakage reactance xlfr, wherein six-phase generator remains stable with respect to its three-phase counterpart. From damper side also, operation of six-phase generator was found to have higher stability when compared with its three-phase equivalent.

Hence, stability of generator operation can be enhanced with increased values of stator resistance and, on rotor side, with higher leakage reactance value of field winding circuit or/and by increased damper winding resistance along q axis.
